Crystal Cove State Park

Crystal Cove is a great place to run because there are three routes to choose from. The green route is the simplest, the red route offers moderate challenges and the blue route is the most difficult. As your stamina progresses, you can move along to the next hardest route for you. You can feel safe while running, because as part of the state park system, Crystal Cove has rangers that regularly patrol the grounds.

Crystal Cove also offers other things to do when you are finished running. There are biking trails with mountain views, and reefs where you can look for lobsters and other sea creatures. There are restored bungalows along the beach that you can rent; they are popular, so be sure to call well in advance.
